CNN’s W. Kamau Bell: Islam Part of America’s Founding

CNNs W. Kamau Bell devoted a recent episode of his series United Shades of America to exploring Muslim and Arab communities.

Aside from some interesting vignettes, the program is left-wing, anti-Trump propaganda that firmly establishes the networks political bias. Bell also serves up some historical distortions of the sort spoonfed to undergraduates on politically-correct campuses, such as the claim that Islam has always been present in the U.S.

Islam has always been part of the American fabric, one Muslim man in Detroit tells Bell at an anti-Trump event. A lot of people think that Islam is from a foreign country, or is a foreign religion. Its not its very American. He goes on to criticize those more violent voices in our society and he does not mean radical Islamists. Bell is so impressed that he asks the man, When are you running for mayor? , comparing him to a young Barack Obama.

It was Obama who told the Muslim world in his Cairo speech in 2009: Islam has always been a part of Americas story. He offered a dubious proof: The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. He also cited the Treaty of Tripoli, which was essentially an agreement to pay a bribe to Muslim pirates who had made a practice of kidnapping Americans.
